Hasleen Kaur, a Bollywood actress known for her roles in Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar and Ruthless Bastards, has voiced her support for Deepika Padukone's demand for an 8-hour shift. Speaking with Bollywood Hungama, Kaur emphasized the importance of managing time efficiently on film sets, citing that 'a lot of time is wasted' and that producers should prioritize respect for actors' time. Kaur believes that by cutting out unnecessary delays, actors can complete their work within the expected timeframe, reducing the need for lengthy 12-14 hour shifts. She also stressed the need for accountability, suggesting that extra fees for extended working hours be applicable to all set members. This, she hopes, will encourage producers to adhere to tighter timelines and prioritize work-life balance. Kaur's comments come as the film industry grapples with issues of time management and work-life balance. With projects increasingly time-bound and technicians often booked for long hours, the actress's call for change echoes the sentiments of her colleague Deepika Padukone, who recently quit two projects citing similar concerns. Kaur's own projects, including her upcoming lead role in Ekatthe opposite Barun Sobti, demonstrate her commitment to her craft. As the industry continues to evolve, Kaur's advocacy for tighter timelines and respect for time on sets serves as a reminder of the importance of prioritizing actors' well-being and work-life balance.
